What I didn’t like was sitting in dining room and hearing staff mention about kids left unattended to serve while parents sit, and then one of the staff says out loud “people think this is a buffet and it isn’t”. I was the only person sitting in dining room at the time. I just got up threw my stuff in garbage and walked to my room.
